My colleague at Adobe built one for our own use, since HashiCorp didn't provide one at the time: https://github.com/adobe/cryptr IIRC HashiCorp was not interested in supporting these kinds of tools because they were in direct competition with the Vault enterprise offering.

In HashiCorp Vault forked into OpenBAO

It's not really built for this use case. We tried it, for end-user password management, and it sort of sucked. Not because of the product, but because of the UI. There are things like Adobe's Cryptr[0] that help. But you don't get the nice browser integration one is wanting, mobile is missing, etc. 0: https://github.com/adobe/cryptr Vault is awesome for corporate secrets that services/code needs to see, and even maybe for developers, but for end-user passwords for stuff, it's not so great.
